Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia
In a real estate transaction in Georgia, can an attorney sign a seller's name when the seller has given verbal consent, then after consideration the seller sends an email withdrawing that consent? And can any moneys be dispersed in such an instance?

Maybe. Those questions are not answered with the bare minimum of details. Additionally, you are asking if an attorney "can" do it. If it has already happened, the question is what, if anything, can be done about it. That takes it back to requiring many more details, and it is important enough to see a real estate lawyer immediately.
If an attorney has a power of attorney for the sale, maybe, but questionable if he was told not to sign. Generally speaking an attorney would never sign anyone elses name to a real estate transaction without a POA.
